Hey Suzanne, we didn't have any problems at all - never even lost power. Dennis was no Ivan. Our neighbors are going to love us as we've decided not to take the boards down until after summer. Our house looks abandoned. Take care,
Leslie

We made it through, too! We lost our fence and we must have lost some shingles because the ceiling in our kitchen leaked, but other than that, no damage! My husband's car got hit by a flying ladder, but it's not too bad. My husband missed some work because his restaurant was closed, and I had to miss a couple of days of work because Hannah's daycare was closed all week. So that set us back, but at least we didn't have more damage. Jackie and Wendy - glad you ladies fared okay. Leslie, how did you do?

Hey gals! All safe here - finally got power this afternoon. Just some trees down. We found THE hurricane shelter and actually got to stand outside and watch it all happen!! Our friend has a store - cinder block strip mall, one story! The covered walkway in front was totally sheltered by the other end of the building - couldn't have asked for better shelter. It was awesome with some really powerful winds.

Other than that, we are all doing well. I only have one week of summer break left - bummer! Out of six weeks, I have only spent 2 days alone on the beach! I did catch a couple of waves on the surf board - so I am stoked! Anyway, I hope to be more active again soon and get some chapter stuff together. Please don't lose faith in me, I bit off more than I can chew, but now that Drew is more self-sufficient, I seem to have more time...

We're in Fort Walton Beach right now and it's getting pretty bad. We can't get in touch with our neighbor in Navarre. I hope he decided to leave because our neighborhood will be under water, if there's anything left standing. This is not going to be pretty....

Well, this morning it was down to a category 1 and they said it would hit land as a 2, so we decided to stay. Now they're saying it will hit as a four, and this area has never seen anything so devastating. So...we're in for an interesting experience.
Logging off for now. I'll check back in tomorrow before the storm hits if we still have power and cable.
